Treharris Library – Merthyr Tydfil

Appointed to provide loose furniture, bespoke pieces, and library shelving alongside design consultation on finishes, our team worked closely with the Council and contractors PJ Saunders to deliver a scheme that is both functional and sensitive to this historic building.

Treharris Library, a Grade II listed Carnegie library, first opened in 1909 on Perrott Street. Designed by local architect William Dowdeswell in the English Renaissance style, it has long served as a vital educational resource for the community, celebrating its centenary in 2009. Recent restoration works, combined with our interior design involvement, mark the beginning of a new chapter for this important local landmark.

While its primary function remains as a library, the space has been thoughtfully designed to operate flexibly; supporting young children and parent groups, as well as school-age study sessions.

We developed a subtle, muted colour palette for the furniture and fittings to complement both the existing and newly restored finishes, with the stained glass windows providing a striking and characterful backdrop.
